Product Description

Whether you’re out scouting for wildlife or watching a rugby match, the Travelite EX binoculars from Nikon are versatile all-rounders, perfect for the great outdoors. Highly durable and lightweight, the Travelite EX range delivers sharp views come rain or shine thanks to a combination of superior optics and advanced technologies. Expertly crafted and available in a range of magnification powers from 8x-12x, these travel-ready binoculars are perfect for anyone who likes to take their binoculars with them wherever they go.

Optical Perfection

The optical system of the Travelite EX is quite remarkable. Employing an objective lens diameter of 25mm in a high-quality Porro prism design optimises use of the compact dimensions ensuring these strong performing binoculars deliver a spectacular view. Even in poor light conditions superior light transmission is made possible thanks to Nikon’s multilayer lens coating resulting in bright, clear images. A close-focusing distance of just 2.8m provides superb flexibility in use while aspherical eyepieces work to eliminate optical imperfections and offer high-contrast edge-to-edge sharpness and clarity. Finally, eco-glass, free of arsenic and lead, is used throughout.

Spectator SportsA wide field of view covers the playing area with 7x-10x magnification best for fast moving sports. For an enhanced view, zoom-type binoculars are extremely practical.

Birdwatching, Nature watching7x-10x magnification is most suitable for nature viewing with 8x-12x models recommended for wildlife at a greater distance. A wide field of view is best for tracking birds in flight.

Outdoors, Camping, HikingDurability and portability are the perfect combination when enjoying rugged outdoor activities. Models which feature rubber armouring and waterproofing are ideal.

Highly Durable

The Travelite EX is extremely practical with all models using waterproof and fog-free construction. With a robust housing, the binoculars are waterproof up to 2 metres for 5 minutes, and to prevent fog or mould from forming inside the optical system, Nikon have used O-ring seals and nitrogen gas, so a sudden change in weather won’t cloud your view.

Clear Vision

For ease of use, Nikon have provided features to ensure you get the very best from these versatile sports optics. So whether you wear glasses, contact lenses, or use your binoculars without either, you’ll have the perfect view of your chosen subject. Compensating for differences between your left and right eye, the click-type dioptre ring helps you achieve the sharpest possible image, while the high-eyepoint design provides a clear view of the entire field even when wearing spectacles. For comfort, the turn-and-slide rubber eyecups can either be positioned outwards, which provide a good eye rest, or folded back.

Ergonomically Sound

A rugged die-cast aluminium body covered in rubber armouring for shock resistance means the Travelite EX range is ready for action. The rubber housing also provides a firm and comfortable grip for hands of all sizes, while the central focusing dial is ideally positioned for ease of use. Fitting easily into your pocket, these compact, lightweight binoculars also come with a carrying case that you can fit onto your belt for convenience, and a strap for when you prefer to wear them around your neck for instant access.

With a choice of magnification powers, the portable Travelite EX range from Nikon is perfect for nature watching on weekends away, and ideal for tough outdoor activities such as mountain climbing or trekking.

Famtastic addition to our outdoor adventure kit. Lightweight with great carry case make it almost impossible to forget to take them with you.I bought them as a gift for my boyfriend, they are watertight too do the lenses never mist up or become distorted in any way whatever the weather!!Love them xxxxxx

These are very well made binoculars that have great optics, are robust and fit in a pocket. I would suggest that you look at the 8x magnification version unless you can stabalise the binoculars. Recommended.

ProsNarrow depth of field: this really helps the object you are looking at stand out against the background.Crystal clear: very clear images with little obviouse distortion.Good in low light: pretty good in low light.Easy adjustment: the focusing dial is silky smooth to use and helps get precise focusing.Robust:well made and weatherproofSmall..ish:small enough to fit in the large pocket of an outdoor jacket. They also come with a neck strap.Includes case: comes with a carrying case.Clever eyepiece cover: the eypiece cover is one piece of plastic that covers both eyepieces, meaning that it is not easy to lose. It also attaches to the neck strap.

Consmagnification: x10 requires optical stabilisation so unless you can stabilise the bins when in use look at the 8X version.

I bought these because I thought they would be good for use with spectacles. Now I can see he full circle of the lens when wearing glasses, the first binoculars where this has been possible. So I have the full field of view, which is not easy to get with the latest fashions in spectacles, which seem to leave a bigger space between my eyes and the lenses of the spectacles, and cause a 'telescope' effect in my previous models.

Also much lighter than my standard 10x50 and 7x35 models.

Adjustment for focus seems easy, sensitive and accurate.

Altogether, they seem ideal at present.

However, the acid test will come in May, on our birdwatching cruise.

As you'll see, I have knocked off one star. This is because the lens cover is too stiff - it should be more flexible so that it will fit on when the binoculars are set at an angle which EXACTLY fits the user's eyes. This is especially important for spectacle users - the bioculars need to be ready for instant use when taken from the case, rather than needing an adjustment to the angle before they are usable.

These binoculars were a joint best buy in a consumer magazine, so took the plunge and bought them. They are light and compact, so are easy to carry around. The image quality is good although they need careful adjustment to suit the user's vision. Not had them for long but pleased with them so far.

I bought these binoculars as a present for my wife to replace an old, very heavy pair of 10x25 from a different manufacturer that she had used for ages. I read the reviews of other users and pondered long and hard about the comments about the need for extra support and the advice to get a pair of x8 binoculars. In the end, I decided to go with the x10 and I (and more importantly, my wife) am glad that I went with the x10. They are so light weight and easy to use. The image is crisp and the shorter minimum focussing distance is a big improvement on the old pair we discarded.
